if it makes you feel better in regards to OOF support, people tend to support the underdog and Arcane will certainly be seen as that. On the other hand, Light's got the efficiency and the money and is certain to have a killer raffle to pull in that OOF support. plus I think since Light has faded as a dom powerhouse, they've got a lot more good will and incentive for other flights to support them. But the underdog appeal is strong

…idk if we do, either. it’ll be so disappointing if we don’t manage to put up a good fight since this is our One Big Thing that we’ve been planning for MONTHS but I don’t even want to think about that </3

da i would consider vacationing in a dom heavy flight to get an idea of how other flights do things. I found it to be a good learning experience.

dom doesn't have to be hard. you can ask other dom teams for help. a conquest push with public buy can be done for less than 20-30 million treasure so it's not even that expensive to "buy first place." there's a lot of stuff that can be done to improve.

da i highly recommend, if your flight doesn't agree to buying mercs with dom funds in the battle terms, finding private individuals who want to place dom orders. mercs are underrated during battles and you can bet that light will be trying to get all the merc companies on lock, whether it's paid for by the bank or by individuals. if you can raise on their prices you can keep an edge. I feel like mercs are a great way for the less strong flight to level the playing field and I'm kind of bummed that merc culture has died out.

I hope that’s the case, the cards seem stacked against us either way.

It’s just a little frustrating. Profit pushes every month, never placing so there’s little incentive other than getting just enough profit for like, maybe one lair expansion (without the discount, obviously) or something, lack of communication and organization. I’ve seen people talking about having asked for things to be changed and just not getting listened to? Man

nayrt

what's the process like for being part of the dom team? if you have leeway to just... jump into things yourself, I would. in most flights I've observed the dom team encourages members to run fundraisers and such and get involved in programs even if they're not leads.

regarding mercs, there doesn’t seem to be a big culture of hiring them outside of arcane, maybe because we don’t conquest enough? people mostly hire other people within the flight, I think to get more raffle tickets or something. I’ll wait to see what we do during avl

Yeah it seems like our dom forum is all over the place. Tbh you can get pretty quick answers through discord but again, that's another barrier to go through which I feel shouldn't be there? It could definitely do with some cleanup to make things easier for newbies and get them into dom. We seem pretty newbie-heavy afterall.

We did place 1st in the 'placing profit' a few months back actually. But we had a private individual (who happens to be a heavy exalter) setting up their own public buy that probably helped a lot.

+1 on the culture feedback loop. Shit fucking sucks.

I don’t believe member-run things are too common, and there IS a form to apply for the team, but it’s been over a year since it was posted and I again have no idea if anyone ever actually gets added, or if it’s even still in effect. It’s seemed like the same people for a while (barring those who have left; also, the dom team lost hasn’t been updated for almost a year, and I know for a fact some of these people have since moved flights). Updating things is a real issue apparently.

But I have been thinking about approaching someone on the team and asking if I can start, I don’t know, an art thread, or something, to help raise funds. As for suggesting other things, I don’t know how much suggestions are taken into consideration, seeing as I have seen people even recently complain that they weren’t listened to.

Time stamp says less than three hours. The nerve of him trying to spin his own constant self insertion into convos as "I want to be left alone" lmao

Sorry I guess that people are still talking about screenshots of you repeatedly lying, bullying other people, and cheating... actually I'm not sorry dakk did you forget that you posted someone else's nudes without their consent to an bigoted transmed comm that you created and modded for kicks as an fucking adult because I haven't
